It’s been raining quite a bit of late,

and the things that breed in brackish water

have taken flight.

How they find me is a mystery,

perhaps some subtle gas I exude.

In any case, to them I’m nothing

more than tasty food.

They reconnoitre the area,

and if their high-pitched whine goes ignored,

they land on uncovered flesh,

pierce skin with needle mouths,

and draw blood.

In exchange, they leave an itch

or in some cases, fevers of manifold sorts.

I could avoid their bites with repellent,

or cover up, or retreat indoors,

But then I wouldn’t have written this.
